Strength (Sunday, September 22, 2002)
Sometimes I wonder
where strength comes from,
when everything seems so hard.
I try to remember
what’s easy for me
and slink into comparisons.
No, I am not another man,
nor is another one me.
I realize how little it gains me,
to put on another man’s clothes.
My task I know
is merely to be
the best of me I can.
Then I remember
that strength itself
resides inside of me.
